haha, yeah I did that too - had a lovely Betta that really was the chief of the tank. Then introduced a dwarf gurami and man fucking all hell broke loose at night - it was then I saw the black gills of death from the betta.
You know jurassic park where those little bastard dinosaur things attack the fat guy who got stuck in the mud and lost his glasses trying to get the embryos out of the park - they showed their gill things before attacking him.... the Betta was exactly the same, except his 'cape' he drew around his head was jet black. Shit I was on the outside of the aquarium and scare as shit!!

Needless to say, I sent the betta to a better home and kept the gurami/colissa. Shit is much more peaceful these days and the gurami is now the head honcho of the tank.
